Posted on by 47

Hi,

 

I have 2 screens 

Screen 1: 

Title: Name

Description: Biography

 

Screen 2:

I require the Title and Description text box to pre-populate

 

How do I do this please?

 

TIA

Prashant

    You can Use gallery and add button in the gallery, On the click of that gallery's button set variable eg: Set(VarDetails,Gallery1) And also add navigate function so that you can navigate to the Screen 2 and use that variable(VarDetails) and rit will return the all the values prepopulate
    Vardetails.Titile and VarDetails.Description

    You can simply point Default value of your second screen control to Text value of your first screen control.

    Let's say your first screen control is called Title1 and your second screen control is called Title2.

    Title2.Default: Title1.Text

    Same for your description.

     

    Hope this helps. If so, thank you to mark as accepted and put a thumb up...

    Also, put TextInput2 parameters :

    • Default: TextInput1.Text
    • Mode: MultiLine
    • DisplayMode: Disabled (or View but you will lose the border. If needed, set a rectangle under your TextInput to put a border)
